I have been taking pravastatin 80mg for over 6yrs, it's always been a white oval shaped pill with 7270 on one side and TEVA on the other side. I got my RX filled today, just opened the bottle to take my nightly meds, and it's a tannish colored oval shaped pill with LU on one side and NOL on the other side. Is this the same med?

I believe the marking you're looking at is LU N04, the way they style the 4 makes it easy to mistake for an L on these tablets, because it's hard to see the formation of it in its entirety on the tablet's surface.

And yes, it is an 80mg Pravastatin tablet, the pharmacy was probably able to get these one from Lupin Pharmaceuticals cheaper than the ones manufactured by Teva.
